My 16 years old friend owns one.

youre not actually. its not addictive by definition because for something to be addictive, it has to cause long term tolerance, and weed doesnt.

It also has no withdrawal symptoms. Don't be nitpicky especially when we're agreeing.

Also, pipes are fine but the smoke is hot as hell.. I prefer water, it's somewhat better for you and a lot cooler smoke

 

[RipperRoo]

I think smoking is a disgusting habit personally, it kills you, it makes everyone including those around you stink, and it costs loads. Whats the point??

 

[Sulkdodds]

I smoke my pipe while out on my veranda surveying my cotton crop. I don't smoke anything in it apart from some small pieces of scented paper. It's all for the effect, old chap.

 

[Ikerous]

My glass pipe is my baby ^_^
<3 Best thing I own

Btw.. thats, um, oregano, so don't worry

 

[Reaktor4]

It also has no withdrawal symptoms.

where did you get that from?
and how could you possibly say its psychologically addictive if you think it has no withdrawal symptoms?

 

[Black Mesa corp]

ok, let me rephrase my sentence. It is not possible to see a teenager smoking a pipe in the part where I live in the UK lol. If you did, you would be shot, stabbed and hung on a metal pike to be roasted as your toturers commit cannabilism.

The fact that young teens smoke disgusts me. Hell, the fact that anyone smokes is positively revolting and embarassing.

Today I saw a group of kids passing some kind of handmade cigarette (joint?) around in the bathroom... First of all, what the **** mate, it was the period right before lunch, when people ALWAYS smoke, and there were ****ing 3 or 4 teachers standing RIGHT OUTSIDE the bathroom, which is RIGHT NEXT to the lunch room. Are teachers that stupid? I would have told them to take a look in the bathroom as I walked past them but I feared getting beat up by those losers.

And secondly, seriously how lame do you have to be that you need to smoke to get enjoyment or as some like to say it gives them a state of being able to think clearly or philosophically or some retarded excuse. Do you think Socrates or Aristotle smoked weed to be able to think?

I and everyone I know does well enough enjoying themselves without using drugs. It is absolutely revolting to find out that someone you hold respect for does shit like this. I'm not saying that I've lost respect, of course not; but really, it's such a dumb thing for a person to do, I don't care what excuses you have, I don't care how safe or non existant you think the issue is, IT'S WRONG.

In closing, stop. Now.

good

Fenric?

Dont start this bollocks. Do you assume everyone who has the odd pint cant enjoy life unless theyre drunk? Catch a ****ing grip.
You have been well and truely brainwashed.

 

[Vegeta897]

I never said that, but if you say they CAN enjoy life without it, then why do they do it?

And brainwashed by who? Or what?

 

[Ikerous]

if you say they CAN enjoy life without it, then why do they do it?

Because its what they enjoy doing..
Just like some ppl enjoy playing baseball
And others prefer going to the movies

 

[Vegeta897]

And I'm supposed to sit back and watch as you compare smoking weed to playing a healthy sport like baseball or watching a nice movie that could actually give you some insight on life, or have a good innocent time with your friends?

 

[Absinthe]

Double standard in full effect.

Somebody watches a movie or plays a game. The little chemicals in their brains start working about and the effect is happiness.

Somebody smokes a joint and... WHOAH NO WAY IS THAT HAPPINESS THAT'S JUST THE DRUG MAN YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO ENJOY LIFE.
(Take in mind that this never applies to alcohol)

ADDED: How the hell does playing a sport or watching a movie offer any insight into anything? Why not just accept it as pleasure? I don't know what you think consists of an "innocent good time". It's not like weed turns you into some amoral and corrupt thug. Nothing wrong with a dubey passed around a circle of friends.

 

[Ikerous]

How's it different :/

QFT, QFT.

but if you say they CAN enjoy life without it, then why do they do it?

Why does anyone do anything that is fun or pleasant?

And brainwashed by who? Or what?

By just about every source of information on this subject you have come across during your life. Mostly the media and governments, also the vast amounts of innacurate/fabricated anecdotes you have doubtlessly heard from whoever. You will practically never, ever find accurate information about illegal drugs unless you go hunting for it yourself.

 

[Vegeta897]

OK then, then would you for example look down upon someone, or try to convince someone who doesn't do drugs and his happy with it, to do drugs like weed?

I just can't see how there is no difference between someone who does weed and someone who doesn't need (OR WANT OR PREFER) a drug to be happy.

 

[Smoke]

You think its disgusting that they do it, they dont, so they do it. BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO.

*Edit* And while we are on the subject, no i do not smoke tobbacco but i DO smoke weed, resin, and most things similar.

Therefore i am disgusting it seems.

 

[Reaktor4]

where did that come from?
i dont think anyone would answer yes to that.

I just can't see how there is no difference between someone who does weed and someone who doesn't need a drug to be happy.

omfg.... what the hell makes you think anyone NEEDS it to be happy?

 

[Vegeta897]

And also, why do people who quit weed feel proud about themselves? Like they quit a bad habit?

I'm just saying it is most certainly not the suitable way to enjoy yourself.

Reaktor4 I added to my post.

 

[Reaktor4]

you know what, forget it. wanna know what i think (and i guess you dont considering you already said my opinion counts for shit), read some of the very lengthy threads i posted in on this subject shortly after i joined this site. back then it was me vs about 1000 people, then me and burner, and we still completely wiped up. this has been done to death and im not gonna spend more hours typing about it.

 

[Vegeta897]

I really don't care anyway. You can tell yourself whatever you want, it will always be wrong in my book, and I hope you all quit.

 

[Ikerous]

I really don't care anyway. You can tell yourself whatever you want, it will always be wrong in my book, and I hope you all quit.

But you're so obviously wrong...
How does that not bother you into changing your views...
I could never just sit there and know my beliefs didn't make sense :/
Especially when it comes to how you view such a large group of ppl

 

[Vegeta897]

Well I wasn't specifically refering to EVERYONE who does it in my first post, I actually meant those idiots who are so EAGER to get their high that they are desperate enough to do it between classes. THAT I think everyone can agree is bad. If you don't think getting to your class is more important than smoking weed... Then just don't even post.

Haha, no, i can see where you're coming from there
If you're so desperate to get high you risk going to juvy and get expelled, that's prolly bad
I never got high at school, but i've gone to school high
It makes it a hell of a lot more fun...
Don't you wish you had something that could make Calculus interesting?

 

[Smoke]

If somebody becomes addicted, or "EAGER", the best thing to do is to help them.
They disgust some people, but if they are helped they will be just fine, if they dont WANT help......**** em.

*EDIT* Yeah Ikerous going to school high is pretty fun, everythings uber funny

Sigh. Do I need to explain my concern here?

 

[Ikerous]

Sigh. Do I need to explain my concern here?

Haha, i'm afraid so
If it's a lack of paying attention, then it's not really a problem
I pay equal attention either way ;-)

And besides, if you could, would you occasionally play css in the middle of class?
I would, itd be a lot more entertaining
I might learn a lil less, but its not like its every class I'm playing
Thats about equal in my opinion :/
(This applies more to high school though, where most of the work is bs anyways)

 

[Absinthe]

Sigh. Do I need to explain my concern here?

Would you view it any differently if they went to school drunk instead?

If you're sane, then you wouldn't. People who do that are being stupid (Of course, it's high school where stupid shit is abound. I've done it a few times.) and we should treat it as such.
But in the right environment and under the right restrictions, alcohol can be very conducive to an enjoyable experience. The same applies to weed. There's nothing inherently wrong with enjoying these substances.

 

[Vegeta897]

Then why isn't it something you would openly admit to someone? As some teens don't to their parents? Surely if you think you are so right it shouldn't be hard to prove your point to them too?

 

[Ikerous]

Then why isn't it something you would openly admit to someone? As some teens don't to their parents?

LOL Because parents think like you do? I dont tell my dad cuz i'm scared.
I told my mom, she doesn't care

Ill admit it to anyone else though, i'm definitely not ashamed of it
Just dont wanna risk losing my internet ;-)

 

[Vegeta897]

Scared of what? If you are so right you have nothing to fear.

 

[Ennui]

I openly admit it to my peers, and teachers too, mostly, but I don't tell my parents for fear of persecution :O

 

[Ikerous]

Scared of what? If you are so right you have nothing to fear.

I am right.. but you know parents wouldn't care if i'm right or wrong
They'd react just like you and then make me pay for shit

 

[Vegeta897]

You trust your teachers more than your parents regarding persecution? LOL

Perhaps you should all grow up to be polititions and argue your fine points to the government.

 

[Ikerous]

Teachers can't ground you...
And a lot of teachers smoke too, so you know its okay

My mom works at an elementary school
Apparently, youd be suprised how many teachers snort lines or smoke weed in their rooms...

Perhaps you should all grow up to be polititions and argue your fine points to the government.

Have you by any chance heard of greens or libertarians :angel:

 

[Ennui]

Some of them, yes.

 

[Vegeta897]

This world is gross. I'm embarassed to be a human.
